Abstract

Radha Raman Mishra and his co-author A. K. Jha present the scenario for the demand of advanced materials, which have high strength and comparatively low weight. Carbon fiber composites are satisfying the requirements but high cost of manufactured products restricts their use only for highly precise applications. In this present study, a light weight foamed carbon fiber composite was developed by a hand lay-up layer by layer processing method. Wax, thermocol and camphor balls were used as foaming agent which gets evaporated leaving a porous structure after sintering. The investigations were made to evaluate mechanical properties of developed foamed composites. Finally they observed that, the camphor foamed composite has better hardness and wax foamed composite has more energy storage capacity at moderate impacts.
